Ive enjoyed reading your Log Book 101. LOL Im beginning to grasp the concept since I have never even seen a log book but maybe next month when I start school it wont seem so greek to me when they start discussing log books. At least you put it in terms that can be understood as opposed to some of the half wits that try to tell you how to log and yet have trouble theirselves.
Do you really understand the 14 hour rule?

Im getting 8 hrs on my recap (for the 70hr rule) im 5 hrs away from 1st drop and 30mins to 2nd drop from there.. my question is will i have the 14hr day rule as long as i dont go on duty/drive more than my 8hr recap?

Do not try to put Recaps in with the 11/14 hr rules... Recaps only let you gain hours back. You gain 5 hours back, your day ends at the end of the 5 hours, no matter how much is left on your 11/14
You drop to line 3 or 4 your 14 hour day starts. You drop down at 8am, your day ends at 10pm, unless you drive your 11 hours limit first, or you hit the time you gained back on a recap. -

If you start your 14 hour clock at 0200AM, 14 hours later is 1600PM. In that span of time you will not have been allowed to exceed 8 hours (your recap in this case) driving time, so yes you could drive some, pull over and sleep or take in the sights and drive some more and pull over some more just do not exceed the 8 hours on the drive line and do not drive past 1600PM of course.Shortstuff09_40 Thanks this. -
